The fire speeder was an initial attempt at making a red snow speeder in the scale of the ultimate collector's edition that came out around 2004, if memory serves me right. I realized I didn't have a cockpit cover large enough or the plates to make the wings, so I thought that an open cockpit and thrusters would do the trick instead.

I built its first iteration, the mark I as I call it around summer 2004:

I made a diorama of its entry into enemy territory through a fiery lava cave and everything.

Then, after a pair of months or so, I decided to go ahead and build an upgraded version, the mark II:

The mark III that followed about three months later was I feel a bit over the top and slightly exaggerated, but it at least kept the aesthetic of the initial idea. Either way, here it is:

Hmm, the slopework is interesting and flows surprisingly well (although probably better on photographs), so the shape is pretty good for an older creation. I like the socnd the best, becasue it is more complete tahn the first and cleaner than third, which also has some colouring problems with the brown grill tiles.

Exactly my opinion. The problem with the third iteration was that it had too much; as for the coloring issue... Well, it actually originated in the second version (if you look closely) but it wasn't prominent as in the third.
